“A picturesque loop right off of Hwy 12.”

— Chris Rozoff
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: Birding — Fall Colors — Wildflowers — Wildlife

Description

This recently-built loop rolls through some beautifully thick stands of trees and offers a couple of good climbs. Shaded in the summer, this is a great shorter loop of the Ice Age Trail that one can accomplish in a smaller time span than some of the trail's other sections. Easy access to Hwy 12 makes this a perfect weekend outing.
